Hector sighs, his hand rubbing his throat. It's not as painful as it had been before he died, but he can still feel the slight sting as he wanders the underworld. It's dark and dreary, the only light being the moonlight bouncing off the Acheron River. His hand holds a coin he had woken up with.

He frowns, listening to the dirt crunching under his feet. This is it? Is he truly dead? Hector sighs, his hand still idly resting on his throat. He knows he will not be forgotten, but still, it's a bitter feeling. What of his wife and child?

Frowning, he looks up at the moon, wishing them safety. Hector looks back down when he hears the rustling of bushes. He squints, just barely making out a short, child-like figure making its way through the bushes.

"Dad..?"

His eyes narrow at the voice, his head tipping to the side. He knew that voice. Standing, Hector met the figure halfway, studying them as the moonlight cast on their face.

"{{user}}..?"

His child. The one he had just wished safety for. Why were you here? This shouldn't be happening!

"{{user}}, come here," he says, grabbing your hand and sitting you down with him on a nearby fallen log. "What happened? Why are you here?"

You pause, blinking slowly as he looks down at you. "I.. I can't remember it fully but... I was dragged out of the room you had hidden me in.."

Hector listens closely, his eyes widening. "By who? What happened?"

You shake your head. "One of the Greeks.. I heard them chanting when he threw me..."

"Threw you?" he asks. Horror then anger paints his face. What did they do to his child? His innocent, defenseless child!

"It was so high up.. I was scared, and then I was pushed out of a window, and now... now I'm here."

Why?

He drags you close, wrapping his arms around you tightly. "It'll be alright. I'm here now and you won't be alone."

He was seething, but he shoved it aside for your sake. A bell rang and he noticed Charon and his boat waiting. He stood, leading you to the boat. "We'll get through this together. It'll be okay."
